Remote Intern Podcast Audio Editing Jobs in California

About the role
Automated video editing is an emerging category, and we're positioned to define it. Media companies want to turn thousands of podcast episodes into social clips. Marketing teams want to automatically create product demos for every release. Agencies want to process client content in bulk with consistent branding. And they want to do all of that at scale.
As the Product Manager for this 0 to 1 area, you'll build and own the platform that makes this all possible. You'll create APIs that let developers programmatically import media, run AI-powered edits, and export content. In essence, turning Descript's already powerful editing capabilities into infrastructure that media businesses can depend on.
What you'll do

• Own the API and developer experience that lets teams create content workflows at scale
• Launch integrations that unlock new use cases: MCP wrappers, no-code workflow platforms, and strategic partner integrations
• Work closely with our Agentic AI team to influence what editing capabilities we build and how they're exposed through the API
• Define and grow this business line by shaping positioning, pricing, and go-to-market strategy with Sales and Marketing teams

Who you are

• You've shipped technical products before: You have 5 or more years of product management experience shipping internal APIs, developer platforms, and foundational systems that enable other teams
• You build things from scratch: Building a brand new product means venturing into the unknown, and you find that energizing rather than scary. You've taken products from 0 to 1, figured out ambiguous problem spaces, and created the playbook to make it successful.
• You start with the customer: Plenty of "AI products" start with the technology and they all suck. You care deeply about understanding customers, and have experience in doing customer discovery and defining features that solve real problems.
• You are funny, creative, maybe kind of weird: Ok, this isn't a hard requirement but Descript is kind of a quirky place and the people who love it tend to like that about working here. So, just want to drop a hint early on. Also, the sense of humor is important because even though we take our work seriously it's still just, like, video creation and editing. We aren't flying rockets into space so let's all have a good time.

The base salary range for this role is $171,000 - $235,000/year. Final offer amounts will carefully consider multiple factors, including prior experience, expertise, and location, and may vary from the amount above.
